E3 cancels 2023 event, leaving Los Angeles without a major gaming convention
LA TimesThe Electronic Entertainment Expo, colloquially known as E3, was canceled Thursday months before it was to open at the Los Angeles Convention Center in June. This would have been the first E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center since 2019, when the event was welcomed to the city with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with then-Mayor Eric Garcetti. E3’s cancellation leaves a giant hole on Los Angeles’ summer convention calendar, and without what was once a signature event. E3 typically brought in more than 65,000 fans and industry professionals to the Los Angeles Convention Center and surrounding events every summer. “For those who did commit to E3 2023, we’re sorry we can’t put on the showcase you deserve and that you’ve come to expect from ReedPop’s event experiences.” A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Convention Center, where E3 was slated to be held June 13 through June 16, declined to comment.
